Corzine Approval at 35%

Jon Corzine came in promising property tax relief and rainbows. He delivered tax increases pretty much across the board in record time for even a liberal. He's now paying for it dearly:

TRENTON, N.J. - If there ever was a political honeymoon for Gov. Jon Corzine, it appears to be over.

In his first four months in office, the Democrat has proposed an increase in the sales tax and broken a promise to give homeowners dramatic relief from the highest property taxes in the nation.

Corzine's approval ratings have sunk, and fellow Democrats in the Legislature are hesitant to back his budget plan.

"He did a great job as senator. You would just figure it would carry over as governor," said disappointed Democrat Neil Harry Lori, a plumber from Montclair who liked Corzine's liberal record in the Senate, especially his 2002 vote against authorizing President Bush to invade Iraq.

People from north Jersey tend to be idiots as you may detect from Neil Harry Lori (BTW, only serial killers use three full names). He loved his liberal voting record while in the Senate, but is shocked he acted as a liberal when he became guv. Go paint your face blue, take your shirt of in the middle of December at the Meadowlands and root for the Giants loser.

Here's the difference between what was promised and what was delivered:

But after inheriting a $4.5 billion budget deficit, Corzine called for $1.9 billion in tax increases — including an increase in the sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent — and announced that the property tax relief he promised would cost too much at $550 million. He offered $100 million instead.

The Corzine tax increases doomed any chance of school taxes getting passed and he has only the donks to blame.

35% is one point below Bush's average at Real Clear Politics and is probably the lowest of any governor in the nation.

His presidential aspirations are sinking just as fast.
